Kimsa secured a comfortable 94-67 victory over Platense 94 in the Liga A on Sunday evening. The home side ran out winners at home, extending their advantage at the top of the table. Platense, sitting in 17th place, could offer little resistance to the league leaders.
Kimsa shot 13 from 30 on three-point range and converted 29 of 58 field goals. Their perimeter shooting proved decisive, while Platense managed just 9 successful three-pointers from 28 attempts. The hosts also held the edge in assists with 15 to 11, showing better ball movement throughout the contest.
The statistical gap widened in other areas as well. Kimsa recorded 14 steals compared to Platense's 6, disrupting their rhythm repeatedly. Turnovers tell a similar story — the visitors lost the ball 17 times while the home side managed 14. Platense did grab more rebounds with 35 to 31, but it wasn't enough to keep them in the game.
Kimsa's form has been mixed recently. They've dropped three of their last five outings, including losses to Gimnasia y Esgrima de Comodoro Rivadavia on 56-68 and 59-76. Yet against a struggling Platense side, they found their rhythm and ran away with it. The win keeps them firmly at the summit with 24 victories from 36 games.
Platense's situation looks increasingly precarious. They've lost 23 of 36 matches this season and have only 13 wins to their name. Their most recent result was an 82-74 victory over Olimpico on October 2nd, but this performance suggests they're still searching for consistency. The 27 personal fouls committed against 17 by the hosts shows they were struggling to contain the home side.
What matters now is what this result means for both clubs. Kimsa extend their lead at the top, while Platense remain rooted in the lower half of the table. The gap between them is clear — 24 wins versus 13 — and neither side is likely to close it anytime soon.
